Salvador Dali created 105 paintings for an illustrated Bible. This resulted in an eerie surrealist interpretation of passages that appealed to him. Which image is your favorite?

My favorite is the red "portrait" (5th panel, bottom row).

I was just reading up on the Biblia Sacra, and I thought it was very interesting how the project came to be. Dr. Albaretto, long-time friend, patron, and publisher of Dali, commissioned Salvador Dali to create the illustrations of the Bible. Dr. Albaretto knew that the project would require Dali to study the Bible, and he hoped this would bring his artist friend back to God.

Oh and as for my favorite Biblia Sacra image - I think they are all great and could never pick just one!
